fools, drunkards, and the United States of America
Iranβs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

It feels like the United States has the most solipsistic culture imaginable, with a populace unable to parse global events through any lens other than how they are personally affected.
The Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran is a reckless and criminal military gamble driven by their respective domestic political considerations.
Solidarity with civilians across the Middle East, many of whom living under regimes they oppose, who are paying the price for this reckless adventure.

Jenseits der AbsurditΓ€t der Aussage kann man π sehen, wie der dt. Entlastungsdiskurs funktioniert. Einerseits rechtfertigt man mit der SingularitΓ€t des Holocaust die kritiklose Haltung zu Israel, andererseits relativiert man Schuld der Vorfahren, die nicht mehr singulΓ€r bΓΆse sind

I really It's kinda weird how the "The left hates technology (because AI)" mostly come from people whose experience with tech is on the level of vibecoding and the "left" they criticize consists to a significant part of people who've been actually building and maintaining systems for decades.
Just once Iβd love these guys to come back from Europe and say βHad a great time in Europeβ instead of endorsing a Fourth Reich
